JUST Copy link • JUST 1. Justus (in all the relations of the English word; of persons and things; e.g., of judges, complaints, tears, punishments, etc.): aequus (equitable, fair; of persons): legitfromus (in conformity with the laws, etc.; of things). To prefer a just claim to anything, jure suo or recte postulare aliquid. The just mean, mediocritas illa, quae est inter nimium et parum. Exact, accurate, Vid: 2. s. certamen equitum hastis concurrentium. Vid: TOURNAMENT. 3. v. concurrere (cum aliquo, contra aliquem, alicui, or absolutely). 4. adverb, Just now, jam (e.g., haec, quae jam posui): vixdum: vix tandem (of a wish long felt, and now at length gratified; vix tandem legi litteras dignas Appio Claudio): tantum quod: modo. But just... when, vix or vixdum... cum: commode or commodum... cum; tantum quod... cum [Vid: examples under HARDLY]: to be just going to do anything, jam facturum esse aliquid. Only; this and no more (in wishes, commands, permissions, etc.), modo: quaeso (I beg). Just let me, sine modo. Do just stay, mane modo: do just go, abi modo. Exactly, plane: prorsus: omnino (in all): ipse (itself; used with numerals in exact designations of time, etc.; e.g., triginta dies erant ipsi, cum has dabam litteras, per quos, etc.: just at the right moment, tempore ipso, Terentianus). Just so (in ansivers), ita est; ita, inquam; ita enim vero; sane quidem; or by repetition of the verb that makes the question; e.g., deditisne vos, etc.? Dedimus. Just as if, perinde ac si; perinde quasi; less commonly proinde ut or ac [Vid: Pr., Introd. ii., 369]; non secus ac si; similiter, ut si or ac si; juxta ac si (all with subjunctive).
